About Us:
In a digital age where popular narratives dominate our airwaves and often go unquestioned, we decided to do the unpopular but much needed; raise real questions and concerns with popular narratives that often go unchecked. This is… EVER THOUGHT OF THAT. We seek to be a voice representing narratives and different views that are often, either misrepresented, under-represented and at times, even not represented.
